One of the hardest lessons infertility taught me was this:
Just because someone is functioning doesn't mean they're okay.
For years, I became very good at showing up.
Going to work.
Facilitating workshops.
Attending events.
Smiling when I needed to.
Doing what had to be done.
From the outside, it looked like I was handling everything well.
But there were days when I was carrying heartbreak that nobody could see.
If you're carrying something heavy right now, this is your reminder:
You do not have to earn compassion by falling apart publicly.
Your pain is real.
Even when nobody else can see it. 🤍
